3D Laser Scanning

With 3D laser scanning, ITC can help you create or redesign products and get them to market better, cheaper, and faster!

Three-dimensional laser scanning is a shape capture technology -- a nondestructive optical technique that quickly and accurately captures organic shapes or highly non-prismatic shapes.

Laser scanning is not a particularly new technology -- lasers have been used in measurement for 20 or 30 years. What has changed in recent years is the capacity for collecting and manipulating large amounts of data, faster, in a way that is more familiar, and using some of the resources we already have.

3D Laser Scanning has multiple uses:

  • For reverse engineering to provide accurate manufacturing design data
  • For part & tool inspection
  • For product redesign and analysis
  • For rapid prototyping
  • For packaging design
  • For virtual models for marketing and consumer testing
  • In cultural preservation or re-creation of historical monuments or relics
  • In science and medicine for orthotics and prosthetics
  • In entertainment to create 3D animation or video game avatars
  • In transportation for aftermarket parts
  • In architecture and construction for design and renovation of buildings

Project Profile

Composite Innovation Centre EcoCycle™ Fuel Tank

The Composites Innovation Centre (CIC), a firm that conducts innovative research and development of composite materials, was tasked to design a motorcycle fuel tank made from a bio-composite material within a very short period of time.

 Ecocycle

The digital replication of an existing standard fuel tank required the capabilities of 3D laser scanning.
